Description:
Check out this fun and competitive game that focuses on holding and breaking the serve as well as scoring under pressure, presented by Mark Bey, USPTA Professional.
Tip:
This week’s tip features USPTA Professional Mark Bey presenting a competitive drill that emphasizes the importance of holding and breaking serve. Two players play a game and if the server wins it, he scores a touchdown. Football terminology is used for scoring to accentuate the importance of holding serve. The server earns a touchdown, a maximum of 9 points if the game is won at love (0), and earns a 6-point touchdown if the game goes to deuce (40-40).
The receiver can score points if he breaks serve: a maximum of 6 points for a love break moving down to 3 points for a break won at deuce.
Go out and try this fun drill with your players!
